I've been installing BRK brand model 9120B smoke alarms for the past year, I replaced the ones in my house also back in September, every once in a while (every couple of days)I get a 1-2 second alarm that activates the alarm latching feature showing that it was the actual alarm that initiated and not just the battery beep you get when it gets week, I tried replacing the battery any ways and then replaced the alarm with new ones but still have the same problem. I just recently got a complaint from one of my customers that is having the same problem. My supplier said they called the mfg. and they said sometimes a dimmer or an arc-fault breaker on the same circuit as the alarm can cause this, with the code requiring all outlets in bed rooms ( my state all livable rooms) to have arc-fault protection I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so if they have found a solution to correct this. My alarms are not on the same circuit as a dimmer or an arc-fault. Thanks Stan
